Unpaid work experience placements and internships that don’t meet the definition of a vocational placement can be lawful in some instances. To be lawful, businesses need to ensure that the intern or work experience participant is not an employee.
One key issue in determining whether an employment contract has been formed is whether the parties intended to create a legally binding employment relationship.
When assessing whether the parties intended to form a legally binding employment relationship some key indicators would be:

Purpose of the arrangement. Was it to provide work experience to the person or was it to get the person to do work to assist with the business outputs and productivity?

Length of time. Generally, the longer the period of placement, the more likely the person is an employee

The person’s obligations in the workplace. Although the person may do some productive activities during a placement, they are less likely to be considered an employee if there is no expectation or requirement of productivity in the workplace

Who benefits from the arrangement? The main benefit of a genuine work placement or internship should flow to the person doing the placement. If a business is gaining a significant benefit as a result of engaging the person, this may indicate an employment relationship has been formed. Unpaid work experience programs are less likely to involve employment if they are primarily observational

Was the placement entered into through a university or vocational training organisation program? If so, then it is unlikely that an employment relationship exists.

Employers who fail to meet their obligations under the Fair Work Act 2009 (FW Act) can face penalties of up to $10,200 for an individual and $51,000 for a corporation.
在交钱参加没有工资的实习时候，千万要注意了！不要以为交了钱，那些人就会教你，很多时候都是交了钱也没学到东西，而是给人白干活而已。还把钱给了中介，让他们笑开了眉。花钱来让人剥削。
小公司-administration,scan and copy,receptionist,labour .....
大公司 - present marketing plan, find clients, contribute ideals
要人来做这些东西，是要付给人工资的，不是放个internship/work placementtitle上去就可以省事的,除非只是让人来看着你怎么做吧（mainly observational)。
同学们请擦亮眼睛，别费时费钱了。不明白的找相关部门问清楚。
